This is both beautiful, yet hauntingly sad. I see it as a relationship where he sees things as being optimistic and new in it, yet his loved one doesn't see things as optimistic and hopeful anymore. It is a warning to focus on the present, not the past, because the past will fade into darkness and leave you with nothing (midnight). It will leave the person who sees the colour in the relationship (him) bored, because he gets no more love back. Profound. I actually think the lyrics near the end are "I dream so excited, but I - I feel so bored" is really what it is saying.
